''President Nicos Anastasiades said on Wednesday the Greek Cypriot community was ready to return to the 1960 regime with Turkish Cypriots taking the positions granted to them by the constitution, suggesting Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar was contradicting himself in his criticism of a decision to revoke the Republic of Cyprus passports of 14 Turkish Cypriots.''

...what do you think?
It is an interesting challenge. Is returning to the original Constitution as a starting point for negotiations a viable option?
Is it possible that the Communal Chamber will be opened, long ignored by both sides, to sit as Communities rather than as Individuals?
Can "two states" represent themselves, apart from our representation as Cypriots; isn't that what Turkish Cypriots (as opposed to "Cypriot Turks") have been asking for all these years?
...a stupid act, and yet the challenge itself is not so stupid. We may yet see a President that will speak to all Cypriots, when he speaks; "Turks" may well be defined, exposing "Turkishness" as such.
